Lyrics

Grounded, 5 a.m., the nightlite is comforting
But gravity is holding you
Once settled into sleep
You have watched
On repeat the story of your life
Across the ceiling
And in review

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you, you don't believe
These things you've never seen

Good morning, how are you?
The weather's fine
The sky is blue
It's perfect for our seminar

Now close your eyes and start to breathe
Allow the noise to recede
Allow yourself to drift and fly away
But you just stay

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you, you don't believe
These things you've never seen
Never heard

Did you hear these voices?
Did you hear these voices calling?
Did you hear these voices calling you?

Locked into a conference room
We're only what our minds assume
And rationale is leaving you

This conceit these systems of belief
Your counselor agrees
You always mark these boundaries now you're free
And with relief

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you, you don't believe
These things you've never seen
Never heard, never dreamed

You said the air was singing
It's calling you, you don't believe
These things you've never seen
Never heard, never dreamed

Never, never, never..

Once you had a dream
Of oceans and sunken cities
Memories of things you've never known
And you have left alone
